Description

Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about John Steinbeck in a new and engaging way! This project gives students the opportunity to research one of America’s most influential authors and bring his story to life through a hands-on creative activity. Students will explore Steinbeck’s background, his most notable works, and his contribution to literature while practicing collaboration and communication skills.

Working together, students will research John Steinbeck, record their findings in the designated sections of the poster, and color or paint each piece to complete their display. When the six pages are taped together, they form a cohesive and visually striking poster. The finished product measures 28" x 15", can be printed on regular copy paper or cardstock, and will last for years if laminated.

This resource includes step-by-step student directions, an author study project rubric, a graphic organizer, six blank coloring pages that combine into one complete poster, a John Steinbeck author study answer key, and a fully completed example showing both text and color.

This collaborative author study is a wonderful addition to any novel study from Of Mice and Men to The Pearl and beyond!
